EX-99.1 2 exhibit991.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 DocumentExhibit 99.1LKQ CORPORATION ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR SECOND QUARTER 2026Antioch, TENN (July 30, 2026) -- LKQ Corporation (Nasdaq LKQ) today reported second quarter 2026 financial results and provided an updated outlook for 2026. Our second quarter performance reflected solid execution across our North America and Specialty segments. North America returned to positive organic growth for the first time in nine quarters, driven by record alternative-parts utilization of over 40%, moderating insurance premiums that were negative in May and June, and continued sequential improvement in repairable claims. Specialty also delivered growth despite a challenging end market environment and continued macro economic pressure on consumers. Europe fell short of expectations, with results affected by the ERP implementation in Germany. Outside of the ERP impact, the team delivered substantial cost reductions that largely offset the lower volumes we witnessed in the UK and Benelux regions. Overall, the fundamentals of our business are improving, and as market conditions continue to recover, we expect those operational gains to translate into stronger financial performance and profitability in the quarters ahead, commented Justin Jude, President and Chief Executive Officer.Second Quarter 2026 Financial and Operating ResultsRevenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $3.4 billion, a decrease of 3.0% compared to $3.5 billion for the second quarter of 2025. Total parts and services revenue decreased 3.6%, which included a 5.1% decrease in parts and services organic revenue, a 1.0% increase from foreign exchange rates year over year, and the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures, which increased revenue by 0.5%. Net income2 was $134 million compared to $185 million for the same period of 2025. Diluted earnings per share2 was $0.52 compared to $0.72 for the same period of 2025. On an adjusted basis, net income1,2 was $170 million compared to $218 million for the same period of 2025. Adjusted diluted earnings per share1,2 was $0.67 compared to $0.84 for the same period of 2025. Strategic InitiativesIn December 2025, the Company announced that it had commenced a process to explore a potential sale of its Specialty segment, and in January 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had initiated a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives, including a sale of the Company, to enhance shareholder value. Our Specialty segment is currently being evaluated as part of the broader strategic review process initiated in January.The strategic review process remains active, and the Company continues to engage with multiple parties. The review has no deadline or definitive timetable and there can be no assurance the review will result in any transaction or other strategic outcome. The Company will provide updates on the process as appropriate.Cash Flow and Balance SheetCash flow from operations3 and free cash flow1,3 were $111 million and $60 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2026. Cash flow from operations3 and free cash flow1,3 were $55 million and negative $36 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, the balance sheet reflected total debt of $4.0 billion and total leverage, as defined in our credit facility, was 2.8x EBITDA. (1) Non-GAAP measure.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company returned $207 million to its shareholders by investing $53 million to repurchase 1.9 million shares of its common stock and distributing $154 million in cash dividends. Since initiating the stock repurchase program in late October 2018, the Company has repurchased approximately 71 million shares of its common stock for a total of $3.0 billion through June 30, 2026. An aggregate balance of $1.5 billion remains for potential additional stock repurchases through October 25, 2026. On July 28, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share of common stock, payable on September 3, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 20, 2026.2026 Outlook Second-quarter results reflected improving trends in North America and resilient demand in Specialty, offset by a slower-than-expected recovery following the ERP implementation in Germany. North America remains on track against its full-year plan, and Specialty s revenue performance has been consistent with our expectations. Our revised outlook reflects a more measured pace of recovery in Europe, while we maintain a disciplined focus on cost management, cash generation and capital allocation. The actions underway in Europe are focused on restoring service levels, aligning the cost structure with current demand and translating operational improvement into stronger financial performance, stated Rick Galloway, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

We calculate Segment EBITDA as Net Income excluding net income and loss attributable to noncontrolling interest income and loss from discontinued operations depreciation amortization interest gains and losses on debt extinguishment income tax expense restructuring and transaction related expenses change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities other gains and losses related to acquisitions, equity method investments, or divestitures equity in losses and earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries equity investment fair value adjustments impairment charges and direct impacts of the Ukraine Russia conflict. Our chief operating decision maker ( CODM ), who is our Chief Executive Officer, uses Segment EBITDA as the key measure of our segment profit or loss. The CODM uses Segment EBITDA to compare profitability among our segments and evaluate business strategies. This financial measure is included in the metrics used to determine incentive compensation for our senior management. We also consider Segment EBITDA to be a useful financial measure in evaluating our operating performance, as it provides investors, securities analysts and other interested parties with supplemental information regarding the underlying trends in our ongoing operations. Segment EBITDA includes revenue and expenses that are controllable by the segment. Corporate general and administrative expenses are allocated to the segments based on usage, with shared expenses apportioned based on the segment's percentage of consolidated revenue.

See paragraph under the previous table (revenue and Segment EBITDA by reportable segment) for details on the calculation of Segment EBITDA.Segment EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income, net income or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In addition, not all companies that report Segment EBITDA information calculate Segment EBITDA in the same manner as we do and, accordingly, our calculation is not necessarily comparable to similarly-named measures of other companies and may not be an appropriate measure for performance relative to other companies.The following unaudited table reconciles Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Share to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, respectively Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (In millions, except per share data) 2026 2025 2026 2025 Net income $ 136 $ 193 $ 215 $ 362 Less net income attributable to continuing noncontrolling interest 1 1 Net income attributable to LKQ stockholders 136 192 215 361 Less net income from discontinued operations 2 7 4 18 Net income from continuing operations attributable to LKQ stockholders 134 185 211 343 Adjustments Amortization of acquired intangibles 35 36 68 71 Restructuring and transaction related expenses 14 8 47 19 Direct impacts of Ukraine Russia conflict (1) 1 Impairment on Mekonomen equity method investment 44 Excess tax deficiency from stock-based payments 1 1 Tax effect of adjustments (13) (11) (30) (24) Adjusted net income (2) $ 170 $ 218 $ 341 $ 411 Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding 254.7 258.3 255.3 258.9 Diluted earnings per share Reported (2) $ 0.52 $ 0.72 $ 0.82 $ 1.33 Adjusted (2) $ 0.67 $ 0.84 $ 1.33 $ 1.59 (1) Adjustments include provisions for and subsequent adjustments to reserves for asset recoverability (primarily receivables and inventory).(2) Figures are for continuing operations attributable to LKQ stockholders.We have presented Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share as we believe these measures are useful for evaluating the core operating performance of our continuing business across reporting periods and in analyzing our historical operating results. We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share as Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Share adjusted to eliminate the impact of net income and loss attributable to noncontrolling interest, income and loss from discontinued operations, restructuring and transaction related expenses, amortization expense related to all acquired intangible assets, gains and losses on debt extinguishment, changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, other gains and losses related to acquisitions, equity method investments, or divestitures, impairment charges, direct impacts of the Ukraine Russia conflict, excess tax benefits and deficiencies from stock-based payments and any tax effect of these adjustments. The tax effect of these adjustments is calculated using the effective tax rate for the applicable period or for certain discrete items the specific tax expense or benefit for the adjustment. Given the variability and volatility of the amount of related transactions in a particular period, management believes that these costs are not core operating expenses and should be adjusted in our calculation of Adjusted Net Income. Our adjustment of the amortization of all acquisition-related intangible assets does not exclude the amortization of other assets, which represents expense that is directly attributable to ongoing operations. Management believes that the adjustment relating to amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the comparability of operating performance. The acquired intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangible assets. These financial measures are used by management in its decision making and overall evaluation of our operating performance and are included in the metrics used to determine incentive compensation for our senior management. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share should not be construed as alternatives to Net Income or Diluted Earnings per Share as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In addition, not all companies that report measures similar to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share calculate such measures in the same manner as we do and, accordingly, our calculations are not necessarily comparable to similarly-named measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for performance relative to other companies.The following unaudited table reconciles Forecasted Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Share to Forecasted Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, respectively Forecasted Fiscal Year 2026 (In millions, except per share data) Minimum Outlook Maximum Outlook Net income (1) $ 453 $ 529 Adjustments Amortization of acquired intangibles 134 134 Restructuring and transaction related expenses 90 90 Impairment on Mekonomen equity method investment 44 44 Other adjustments 1 1 Tax effect of adjustments (60) (60) Adjusted net income (1) $ 662 $ 738 Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding 254.6 254.6 Diluted earnings per share Reported (1) $ 1.78 $ 2.08 Adjusted (1) $ 2.60 $ 2.90 (1) Actuals and outlook figures are for continuing operations attributable to LKQ stockholders.We have presented forecasted Adjusted Net Income and forecasted Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share in our financial outlook. Refer to the discussion of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share for details on the calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures. In the calculation of forecasted Adjusted Net Income and forecasted Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, we included estimates of net income, amortization of acquired intangibles for the full fiscal year 2026, restructuring expenses under approved plans, and the related tax effect we included for all other components the amounts incurred through June 30, 2026.The following unaudited table reconciles Forecasted Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Forecasted Free Cash Flow Forecasted Fiscal Year 2026 (In millions) Minimum Outlook Maximum Outlook Net cash provided by operating activities $ 825 $ 1,025 Less purchases of property, plant and equipment 200 250 Free cash flow $ 625 $ 775 We have presented forecasted free cash flow in our financial outlook.

We have presented free cash flow solely as a supplemental disclosure that offers investors, securities analysts and other interested parties useful information to evaluate our liquidity. We calculate free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less purchases of property, plant and equipment. We believe free cash flow provides insight into our liquidity and provides useful information to management and investors concerning our cash flow available to meet future debt service obligations and working capital requirements, make strategic acquisitions, pay dividends and repurchase stock. We believe free cash flow is used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the liquidity of other companies, many of which present free cash flow when reporting their results. This financial measure is included in the metrics used to determine incentive compensation for our senior management. Free cash flow should not be construed as an alternative to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In addition, not all companies that report free cash flow information calculate this metric in the same manner as we do and, accordingly, our calculations are not necessarily comparable to similarly-named measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for performance relative to other companies.
